2. Fat free milk:

Milk is high in calcium and calcium can boost weight loss by increasing fat breakdown in fat cells. This doesn’t mean you should go out and drink gallons of milk everyday – but adding milk to your diet in moderation can double the rate of fat you lose. Different studies say different things on milk and weight loss… some say you can lose 30, 50, and one study even said 70% more weight than people who don’t include 3-4 servings of dairy (milk) a day.

3. Green Tea:

Studies show you can burn 35-to-43% more fat during the day when you drink 3-to-5 cups of green tea

5. Whey protein:

Whey protein helps you release appetite suppressing hormones that curb your cravings. In a recent study, people drank either whey or casein and 90 minutes later they were allowed to eat freely at a buffet table. The people that drank whey protein ate significantly less calories.
